This is my grandmother's recipe for the salad dressing she used instead of mayonaise. (I never tasted mayo until I was a teenager). We used it in pasta salads, egg and tuna salads and sandwiches. I still don't eat BLTs without the tang of this dressing. Grandma made hers on the stovetop and had to stir constantly to avoid scorching. I now do mine in the microwave and no longer have to worry about that. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
1/4 cup vinegar (either white or cider ) |
1/2 cup hot water |
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard (dijon, honey mustard or other flavors will work) |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In microwave safe bowl mix sugar, cornstarch and salt.
2. Whisk in the egg, vinegar, water and mustard.
3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes then stir.
4. Microwave again on high for 1 minute then stir and repeat in 1 minute increments until dressing comes to a boil and thickens - about 5 - 6 minutes total cook time. (It will continue to thicken as it cools).
5. Add butter.
6. Store in refrigerator.
